At last. Shakespeare study notes that are really authoritative, accurate and enthusiastic. This new edition of Cliff's notes on Macbeth is outstanding. There are all the usual things that would be expected in notes of this type, but added to this is a real sensitivity in the appreciation of the language, and also an awareness of Macbeth as a play to be performed. it is perhaps this sensitivity that sets these notes apart. The author communicates a passion for the play by opening it up to everyone in the excellent scene-by-scene analysis. shakespare has never seemed so accessible, relevant and exciting. The suggested tasks are particulalrly inventive- a useful tool for teachers and students.
Okay. It is Cliff Notes. It Cannot replace the text! it just helps with highlighting points. Use it along with the Macbeth in Plain and Simple English and you will be able to understand the play so that you can probably pull out a solid B without a tutor. Read and enjoy the language of the original text and you can use these tools to enhance your study and make the A grade!
What an awesome tool for high schoolers. The CliffNotes for Shakespeare's 'Macbeth' is absolutely a necessity for those approaching this literary artwork as a school assignment. Easy to read, easy to understand and a tremendous tool for understanding the 'real meaning' behind the fancy words!
These notes are very good,don't get me wrong, but time after time they bypass the blatant, creating only more work for the owner. But, they are very observant and get every ironic word to a tee, never failing to notice something.
If you are in a hurry to complete your report, it will help you so. But don't forget to read the entire book as soon as you can.
another success story from reading the book and reading the highlights of the cliff notes to know what to focus on ...
Helped son write his paper for ELA while he was having trouble understanding the play. We did make sure he actually read the play first, but this helped him comprehend it better.
This little book did what it was suppose to do. It helps you have a better understanding of shakespear. Not many pages to go through.
